Cornell lacrosse 2022

[mike1960]

It looks like Cornell will need to move the ball extremely well today to find open cutters on this Ohio State defense.

[mike1960]

Cornell now is doing a really nice job getting the stickhead on the hands of the shooters.

[mike1960]

Great job, Angelo.

[mike1960]

That was a crazy good quarter of lacrosse for Cornell.

Jekyll and Hyde half.

Jekyll and Hyde half.

Connor Buczek made some nice adjustments on a timeout when we were down 0-3. We've got a really good coach. Cornell is playing better now than they did under Milliman.

Need more adjustments...quick.

It looks like some possibilities when Coyle drives from behind the net and finds an open shooter on a skip pass.

Periods 1 and 3:  8-3 OSU

Periods 2 and 4:  11-2 Cornell

Sun?  Wind?  Uphill/downhill?  Mid-half adjustments?

[Al DeFlorio]

So far OSU hotshot Jack Myers is 1G,0A, 2 TO.  Adler must be on him.

[mike1960]

A really nice win. They were down a couple of times and kept playing their game. See you blokes next week.

Way for Cornell to finish strong after weak first and third quarters. Ohio State had more balanced scoring but only because Jack Myers, 30 points first four games, had just 1 point in Ithaca. Good that Cornell has several big scorers, making them go-to's when you really need a goal late.

Cornell was 16x29 on faceoffs, which is nice, and in some years 10x29 would have been a moral victory. Ohio State got pummeled on clears, just  12x19; Cornell was 20x21. Cornell goals vs. SOG 2nd period, 7 of 10. (I'm not sure if this is the final box score; Cornell site shows just one Cornell EMO, first quarter, didn't we have one late in the fourth where we just milked the clock rather than go to the net?)

Triva from Ohio State PR: Ohio State had scored 17 or more goals getting to 4-0 (averaging 18G/game). It was the weekend's only top 10 matchup and other than Rutgers @ Stony Brook, the only matchup of unbeatens (Rutgers, 17-16).

Also Saturday 3/5
#18 Princeton 10 @ #3 Georgetown 8
@ #13 Yale 13, unranked UMass 12 (1-goal leads only Q4; OT after Yale tied with 0:39 left Q4)
Harvard 16 @ Fairfield 12
Brown 22 @ Providence 10
Dartmouth 11, Siena 9
#5 Penn @ also-got-votes Penn State (4 pm game) Halftime: Penn 5-4. Teams trade 5 goals apiece in the second half. Penn's comes with :01 left. Final, Quakers 10, Nittany Lions 9. Way closer than the relative rankings suggested.

Ivies should look pretty good in the polls coming out of the weekend with Penn, Cornell, Yale, Princeton in the top 20. Especially Yale and Cornell, beating higher-ranked teams.

Some guy on Inside Lacrosse picked OSU's Jack Myers for his fantasy team this weekend.  Big mistake.

[billhoward]

Ever upward. Cornell jumps from 11 to 4 in the weekly media poll, week 4. The top 4 plus #16 BU are the only unbeatens. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/league/di/polls/2022
